Economics or poli sci at UCLA????

<p>I've heard that both programs are quite strong? However, are there so many in these majors that it is hard to get an indepth education? ANy info on either program would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>It’s annoying to get into PS classes at UCLA. The major isn’t impacted (limited to a certain #) but it feels like it if you don’t have a good enrollment time. “In depth”? Compared to what? </p>

<p>Go there. Look up the majors. Look at the distribution requirements. Look up what those courses actually mean major websites through UCLA. I have no other way of explaining it - there are upper division seminars and research classes that you can take with a professor’s permission if you want to focus on something specifically and for an extended period of time. For example, If I so desired, I could do a Political Science 195 or 199 and spend an entire year on a project under the guidance of a professor… ultimately, it’s up to you to reap what you can from the departments.</p>

<p>poli sci can’t be that impacted right? i mean the class sizes are like 100 usually and there is a waitlist and there are good profs right?</p>

<p>i would go with econ because econ=more money</p>

<p>Both majors are what you make of it. It’s possible to graduate from either one without really having much depth in your education.</p>

<p>Or, if you want, major in one and minor in the other.</p>

<p>Besides, I’m wont to believe that neither major correlates all that highly with income.</p>
